Exactly how far into the future??? Secure Inter-Domain Routing (sidr) Last Modified: 2009-04-02 ... Goals and Milestones: ... Aug 2007 Evaluate progress, recharter with new goals or shutdown Seems that progress is glacial even by the WG's own plans, while the burn rate on IPv4 remains on its accelerated rate. The WG should really be shut down, because by the time work completes, products are built & shipped, deployments happen, and inter-provider agreements worked out, we will be long passed the end of the IPv4 free pool. What is the point of developing a lock once the horse has left the barn?
